Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

SimonJack The idea for this plot was a good one for the post World War II years. Unfortunately, this film is just too hokey. The script is poor and disjointed, with little imagination for attempts at humor. Consequently, there isn't very much. Just a couple of songs make it a musical, but they are soon forgotten. Donald O'Connor does one dance number. The film has a sense of cavalier about its presentation of former servicemen going to college on the GI-bill. It was a tougher time for those vets who still had to work to put food on the table. Another movie, made a year earlier, captured the spirit of the times and situation quite well, using humor and drama. William Holden, Jean Crain and Edmund Gwenn starred in "Apartment for Peggy." The acting just isn't that good here, and despite a good cast, the film is flat and not very interesting. For one thing, the plot tries to cram too much into the story. A battle of the sexes theme intermingles with couples with babies, the guys in college on the GI Bill, the men having been football players, and a coach and teacher antagonists. I don't know how it fared as the movies, but I suspect that "Yes Sir, That's My Baby" wasn't a big hit in its day. About the only thing that seemed authentic in the plot was the Quonset hut housing. The only line I could see that might have elicited laughter in its time was one from O'Connor's Bill Winfield. He says, "Too bad a fireplace doesn't go with this early Quonset." Five stars is a generous rating for this film. I give the film that for the courage of the cast in taking on such a dull, hokey screenplay.

bderoes Right now, you can watch this on YouTube. While I'm usually an avid fan of Charles Coburn (The More the Merrier, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes), his appearance here could have been replaced by an entirely different type without any loss. About 34 minutes in, O'Connor does a very good dance, showcasing his grace and athleticism, and making interesting use of his non-dancing male extras.I'd probably buy this title just for those 4-5 minutes. Universal needs to publish O'Connor's movies on DVD, or at least create a compilation of his musical numbers.

mark.waltz Sweet to the point of risking a cavity, this well-meaning family musical surrounds several war veterans in college on the G.I. bill who engage in the battle of the sexes with their wives over household chores, taking care of the baby and being part of the football team. Donald O'Connor and Gloria DeHaven play the lead couple, parents of a sweet little tot nicknamed Boobikins. If you can stomach the rest of the football player dads with similarly nicknamed tots, a few rather overly "cute" songs and a genuine battle of the sexes lead by science professor/football coach Charles Coburn and his rival, professor Barbara Brown, you'll find this harmless fun. It just gets to be a bit too much, and it is difficult to see things from the female perspective when it all seems to be their way or no way. O'Connor gets a few athletic dances and is quite remarkable in them, but is defeated by a script that seems to have been written by a novice who wanted to write something "meaningful" but ended up with something cloying and sometimes cringe-worthy.

tavm For several months, I've favorited a lot of Donald O'Connor movies on YouTube that, as far as I know, aren't available on either old VHS tapes or on current DVD's. Now I finally took the time to watch one of them. In this one, Donald is one of several former G.I.s now in college-who are also new dads-who's also on the football team...well, he would be if his wife Gloria DeHaven, also a student, would let him. It seems his coach played by Charles Coburn, who also teaches biology there, had once a relationship with the female instructor of Ms. DeHaven, Barbara Brown, that didn't end well. Their animosity is what has caused the wives of the other former G.I.s to also put their foot down, so to speak. But you know where there's a will there's a way...Plenty of funny stuff concerning babies and other domestic mishaps occur but of course with both O'Connor and DeHaven on board there's also singing and dancing. Donald, in fact, has a fine tap dancing number at the laundromat. By the way, the reason that I watched this now is because since I'm reviewing members of the original "Dallas" cast in previous movies and TV shows in chronological order, this was next on the list since Jim "Jock Ewing" Davis is among the G.I. football players. So on that note, Yes Sir, That's My Baby gets a recommendation.
